Soft Skills in Education: Putting the Evidence in Perspective, Scheerens Jaap, Van Der Werf Greetje, de Boer Hester

Описание: The book outlines a fundamental alternative to the rising wave of aggressive biological reductionism and brainism in contemporary psychology and education. It offers steps to achieving a daunting and elusive goal: constructing a coherently non-reductionist account of the mind. The main obstacle to such a construction is identified as the centuries-old contemplative fallacy that leads to entrenched dualisms and shackles major theoretical frameworks. The alternative agentive activity perspective overcomes this fallacy by advancing the core principles of the cultural-historical activity theory. This innovative perspective charts a consistently non-mentalist and non-individualist view of psychological processes without discarding the individual mind. A vast body of research and theories, from Piaget and Dewey to sociocultural and embodied cognition approaches are critically engaged, with a special focus on Piotr Galperin’s contribution. The notion of the embodied agent’s object-directed activity serves as a pivotal point for re-conceptualizing the mind and its role in behavior. In a radical departure from both the traditional mentalist and biologically reductionist frameworks, psychological processes are understood as taking place “beyond the brain”—as constituted by the agent’s activities in the world. From this standpoint, many of Vygotsky’s key insights, including semiotic mediation, internalization, and cognitive tools are given a fresh scrutiny and substantially revised. The agentive activity perspective opens ways to offer a bold vision for education: developmental teaching and learning built on the premise that real knowledge is not “information storage and retrieval” and that education is not about “knowledge transmission” but instead it is about developing students’ minds.

Автор: Wolff-Michael Roth Название: Dwelling, Building, Thinking: A Post-Constructivist Perspective on Education, Learning, and Development ISBN: 9004376917 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004376915 Издательство: Brill Цена: 61100.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In this book, the author presents a major challenge to (social) constructivism, which has become an ideology that few dare to critique. Transgressing the boundaries of this ideology, the author develops an alternative epistemology that takes dwelling as the starting point and ground. Dwelling enables building and thinking (‘constructing’). It is an epistemology in which there is a primacy of social relations, which are the first instantiations of the higher psychological functions ascribed to humans. Starkly contrasting constructivism, the author shows how the commonness of the senses and the existence of social relations lead to common sense, which is the foundation of everything rational and scientific. Common sense, which comes from and with dwelling, is the ground in which all education is rooted. Any attempt to eradicate it literally uproots and thus alienates students from the life and world with which they are so familiar.

Автор: Susan A. Kirch, Michele Amoroso Название: Being and Becoming Scientists Today: Reconstructing Assumptions about Science and Science Education to Reclaim a Learner–Scientist Perspective ISBN: 9463003487 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789463003483 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 119540.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: • Can I contribute to science? • Do I like to work on the problems of science? • How do scientists know what they know? • Would I like to be|become a scientist? These are questions that interest new science students. The authors provide teachers with an approach to foster and answer these questions by concentrating on learners and learning. They argue that students are typically taught from a disciplinary perspective of science. Using this lens students are viewed as people who need to learn a particular canon of information, methods, and ways of knowing about the world—a perspective that may be useful for practicing scientists, but not ideal for young learners. In this disciplinary approach to science education there is little room for development as a scientist. In contrast, the approach championed by Kirch and Amoroso places learner questions about the world at the forefront of teaching and learning and treats science as a system of human activity. The historical explorations, theoretical insights and practical advice presented here are appropriate for all ages and educational settings. In Being and Becoming Scientists Today, the authors provide: new tools for thinking about science, ideas for how to reveal the multiple stories of knowledge production to learners, and approaches to teaching science as a collective process rather than a series of contributions made by (famous) individuals. In these ways, the authors promote the idea that all science learners contribute to the science in our lives.

Описание: In recent decades, changes in the profession have challenged medical and health education worldwide. Being a doctor today encompasses much more than having biomedical knowledge. It includes interdisciplinary skills related to, among other things, societal needs, communication skills, and ethical consideration. In order to provide these skills and competences, many medical schools are implementing changes in different aspects of the education.
These changes are also occurring in China. In the past 20 years, medical education in China has initiated a series of reforms. The Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health have mainly led the current reforms. These initial actions have evidenced both positive and negative attitudes and reactions. Is there a need to make further reforms and changes? If so, in what aspects?
Change and Reform in Medicine and Health Education in China documents a national investigation of attitudes from teachers on the reforms and changes. Nearly 1,800 teachers from 23 medical universities participated in this investigation. The results suggest that sustainable educational change demands not only support from policy-makers and leaders but also active participation from instructors. In order for the implementation of reforms and changes to be successful, two factors are essential from the instructors' perspective. First, it is important for instructors to gain a deep understanding of educational reform and change. Second, they should develop the appropriate skills necessary to conduct the reforms through their teaching practice. To provide these two factors, institutional facilitation is necessary and crucial.
